Sacred Thorn Apple, Sacred Datura or Western Jimson Weed (<i>Datura wrightii</i>), a 1m high shrubby perennial from southwestern North America. The upward-facing flowers, which are white with a faint mauve edge, are followed by bristly seed capsules. The plant contains poisonous alkaloids with a narcotic effect. It has been used in native rituals, hence the sacred epithet, but such use can have fatal consequences. datura-2853htm'>Datura.
